Expect another stretch of warm weather with highs of 30 C by Monday
A strong ridge of high pressure situated in the Pacific basin will become the main weather-maker for B.C. and Alberta over the next week.
Starting on Wednesday, daytime high will gradually increase, peaking at around 30 C by early next week.
Conditions are expected to be mostly stable by the weekend, with very little precipitation forecast, which will enhance wildfire behaviour.
Expect another stretch of warm weather with highs of 30 C by Monday
Westerly flow across the Prairies is pushing wildfire smoke east all the way into Quebec, while southern Alberta remains mostly unaffected by poor air quality for now.
There is a slight chance of light and scattered rain on Wednesday and again on Friday in Calgary, but accumulations should be minimal.

Manitoba plays the waiting game to get wildfire evacuees into hotels: Kinew
A reception centre for evacuees of the wildfires in northern Manitoba is being staffed by provincial Emergency Social Services, and the Canadian Red Cross at the Billy Mosienko Arena in Winnipeg, Thursday, May 29, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/David Lipnowski WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the province is playing the waiting game as it looks to get thousands of wildfire evacuees into hotels. Kinew told reporters at the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce today that more than 18-thousand people are already in hotels or are staying with family, but many remain in congregate shelters. He says getting those evacuees into private accommodations is a balancing act because many hotel rooms are being reserved for people with 'intense' medical issues. Officials say a trio of fires in northern Manitoba, including near the city of Flin Flon, have merged into a single massive fire just shy of 300 square kilometres in size. The City of Flin Flon on social media says no structures have been lost in the city or in nearby Creighton, Sask. They say winds are blowing from the south and are causing heavy smoke and fire to move towards the south side of Flin Flon. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.

When rain and showers are expected this weekend in the Maritimes
CTV meteorologist Kalin Mitchell goes over the risk of thunderstorms on Friday and what to expect for weekend weather. Periods of wet weather are expected in the Maritimes this weekend as a weather front moves in from the west while a low-pressure system approaches from the south. Friday showers The cold front that triggered severe thunderstorms in New Brunswick on Thursday – including some strong enough to cause wind damage around the Woodstock area – continues to move east of the Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia Friday evening. As the front continues to move through, some further isolated showers are expected in western areas of Nova Scotia. A risk of thunderstorms will continue to accompany any showers that are moving through. The risk of thunderstorms is greatest up until around midnight. Friday evening Isolated showers with a risk of thunderstorms in western Nova Scotia Friday evening. A round of showers approaching southwestern New Brunswick from Maine. Another round of showers with a low risk of thunderstorms will arrive in southwestern New Brunswick late evening. Those showers will turn to periods of rain for that province for Saturday. Other parts of the Maritimes Friday night can expect increasing cloudiness, patchy fog and drizzle, and mild temperatures. Saturday rain and showers There will be lulls, or breaks in the wet weather in New Brunswick, but also a risk of brief downpours. The final round of rain is expected to move through Saturday evening. Rain totals for New Brunswick are generally 10-to-20 mm with pockets as high as 20-to-40 mm. Northern communities in the province could finish with rain amounts less than 10 mm as the weather looks to be more showery there on Saturday. Nova Scotia will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers during the day on Saturday. The highest chance of showers during the day will be for the Annapolis Valley, Cumberland/Colchester counties, the North Shore, and Cape Breton. Saturday night Parts of southern New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island can expect the rainiest conditions Saturday evening and night. A low-pressure system moving up along the eastern U.S. seaboard will develop rain for that province Saturday evening and night. The rain will be accompanied by a risk of downpours. The rain is expected to clear mainland Nova Scotia by near sunrise on Sunday and clear Cape Breton through Sunday morning. Rain totals of 10-to-30 mm for Nova Scotia with pockets of 30-to-50 mm possible where downpours occur. Prince Edward Island can expect a few rounds of showers to pass through during the day on Saturday. There is a risk of brief downpours with the showers. A chance of showers Saturday evening turns to rain by midnight. The rain expected to clear early Sunday morning. Prince Edward Island can expect rain amounts of 10-to-30 mm with pockets of 30-to-40 mm in the event of a downpour. Rain outlook Rain totals over the next few days will generally be 10 to 30 mm. A risk of downpours within the rain means some highly localized amounts could reach 30 to 50 mm. Sunday afternoon blustery but fair Looking for the fairest stretch of weather this weekend? It will likely be Sunday for the Maritimes. There will be some rain to clear Prince Edward Island and eastern areas of Nova Scotia early in the morning. It will clear to become mostly sunny or at least a fair weather mix of sun and cloud for the afternoon. Wind will be blustery, out of the north with gusts of 30-to-50 km/h except gusts 50-to-70 km/h for Cape Breton. Afternoon temperatures will be pleasant. Daytime highs will be in the low-to-mid 20s except mid-to-high teens for parts of Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. Sunday Rain clearing Prince Edward Island and eastern Nova Scotia early Sunday morning. The afternoon generally fair for the region except for some gusty winds.
